It is to me, but reader Joe isn’t the only one to question that conclusion.

The more i learn, the more i agree with you.
Claro que si es un golpe, como pueden cuestionar eso!!!. Entonces cual seria el nombre para decir el acto violento de expulsar a un presidente por la fuerza y encima falsificar una carta???, y luego sustiruirlo por otro presidente que no fue elgido por el pueblo???. En CNN invitan a un monton de “expertos” que tratan de justificar este hecho, eso es criminal, no se puede tapar el sol con un dedo, y no me digan que la mayoria de la poblacion de Honduras esta en contra de Zelaya, miren las imagenes de la cadena de television Telesur: http://www.telesurtv.net. Ademas que existen un monton de violaciones a los derechos humanos por parte de los militares, que quieren callar la voz de la gente, entonces diganme eso es constitucional esto es democracia????????
Perhaps it is clear to those who know, but I’m a skeptic, (although truthfully Nick doesn’t often steer me wrong – San Diego, for example, is very nice! – so i should never have doubted his conclusions).
Glad you enjoyed SD! As to Honduras, maybe we can simplify things by avoiding semantics. Whether or not it was technically a coup (or even illegal, for that matter), the more fundamental question is this: Do we approve? I certainly don’t. If an executive is thought to be violating the constitution, there are any number of approaches short of arrest and exile that the other branches of government may take. Add in the fraudulent resignation letter, and the scene is beyond fishy–it stinks to high heavens.
Estoy de acuerdo contigo Nick, es así, demosle el nombre correcto a las cosas, sin tratar de justificar los hechos.
I’m sure you saw this editorial in the LA Times by Miguel Estrada arguing that the change in leadership was legal. http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-estrada10-2009jul10,0,1570598.story. (Hat tip: Volokh)
Encontre un articulo de una revista muy importante y serio de la Argentina, Página 12, que habla sobre el golpe de estado hondureño, es controversial, pero vale la pena leerlo y pensar en esto…
